Taking Photos of Fireworks

July 4^th is around the corner so I want to share some tips on taking those amazing fireworks.

1. Plan in advance and make sure you have a good view of where the fireworks will be launched.
2. Try low shutter speed.  If your camera does not have that functionality, looks for the fireworks scene mode.
3. Turn off the flash.
4. Ideally use a tripod to avoid shaking due to long exposure.
5. Frame your shot so buildings or other light do not distract from the photo.
6. Capture different angles such as the crowds reaction. 

Enjoy the celebration!!
